Resumo
The Euphorbia hirta L. has been used in the treatment of respiratory
disorders and as an antispasmodic. This work was carried out to determine the macroscopic
and microscopic characteristics of the leaves, stems and roots of this plant, as these parts are
commonly used. Some features of value in their diagnosis were identified and illustrated by
photomicrographs. Phytochemical reactions and determination of water and ash contents were
carried out in the powder obtained from the whole plant, the part used in Ayurveda phytomedicine.
In phytochemical screening, we found flavonoids, mucilage, resins and coumarins. The values
of water content, total ashes and acid insoluble ashes were 8.99%, 9.35%, 0.75%, respectively.
The data obtained are important for the quality control of the leaves, stems and roots of E. hirta.
